It's science,

science, but not as you know it.

The Naked Scientists.

Hello, welcome Ansel.

Hi, Chris Smith.

Now this week, scientists have solved the sticky topic of how Ivy attaches itself so powerfully as it does to walls and other plants and trees.

And now it's obviously a 21st century plant because it does it using nanoparticles and we'll find out why.

Also how French researchers have produced a road surface that can change color to warn you when it's icy

And also it's true that you should feed a cold but should you also starve a feature a fever? Well

Possibly we'll be finding out why shortly.

Vick. Thanks Chris and this week it's also our science question and answer show so

we'll be tackling your science questions. Plus we're thirsty for the answer to this week's question of the week.

If I'm walking through the desert and I come across a case of wine and start drinking it, will

it accelerate my dehydration or will it enable me to survive?

So will an alcoholic drink haste in your demise or will it help you to survive if you have

no water out in the desert?

Diana will be here with the answer later in the program.

Dave.

Thanks, Vic.

And in this week's kitchen science,

I'll be showing you the true power of air pressure

and you may even get to pulverize an egg in the process.
